Went to the same AME for many years who never once commented on my BP. He eventually retired so had to find a new one for the next medical.

When this new guy took my BP, there was much sucking of breath and consternation. In his oppinion my BP was "close" to the limits. He did eventually give me the certifcate but twittered on a bit, saying I should consider going on to medication for a time, ie. stop flying for a bit!

Next medical I found another AME. He told me my BP was fine and was of the oppinion that having some BP was a lot better better than none!!!!
Needless to say I have been going to my new-found friendly AME for some years now.

The moral of this story is that if an AME tells you that you have a problem, try another AME!
